for this, i think i just used the standard round brush set to a small size and crosshatched a lot! that's how i used to draw back then. a lot of the texture is also from applying textures to the picture :]thanks for the compliments!

Heya Loish, love your work, am currently looking through your prints with my girlfriend & deciding what ones we would like to buy and wondered if there was any chance of you making this one available to buy as a print. She loves Ariel and the subdued tones would go well with our colour scheme.Please let me know when you get the chance.Cheers,Sean

Whoa! This is digital?! I swear I thought you painted this on canvas and took a digital shot of it. This is amazing.

haha.. She looks like she's saying "I lied", too. She's always fibbing and running off, getting herself into some kind of trouble... "Daddy, I'll be in my room" ("NOT! What I'll really be doing is playing with my thingamabobs and gadgets and gizmos in my um, what you call it, Oh! Cave. Then, I'm gonna go play with the electric eels and comb Ursula's hair with that shiny, metal, four-pronged object that I once saw Prince Eric eat with.")
